In a significant development, the Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal brought by a Metropolitan Police firearms officer known as W80 in relation to the fatal shooting of Jermaine Baker. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) had determined that W80 should face misconduct proceedings for his actions.
Commander Fiona Mallon, responsible for armed policing, expressed condolences to Mr. Baker’s family and all those affected by the case. The Metropolitan Police has provided extensive support to W80, his family, and colleagues throughout the process, acknowledging the impact this has had on them. The judgment by the Supreme Court has broader implications for the use of force by police officers, and the Met will take time to carefully consider the details alongside policing colleagues nationwide, including legislation, guidance, and training for officers.
